Associate in Science (AS) Fire Science (AS) Technology
The Fire Science Technology Associate in Science (A.S.) degree program at Valencia College prepares you to go directly into a specialized career in fire services.
If you are good at making split-second decisions and staying calm in a crisis, then a career in fire fighting may be just for you. Students will gain an understanding of different fire and emergency hazards, and learn about effective operating procedures for fire prevention, control and management.
With your A.S. degree, you’ll be prepared to become a Fire Safety Inspector, Fire Investigator, Fire Assistant, Fire Science Technician or even a Fire Officer.
Our program can also be useful for careers in other public service areas or to provide current fire fighters and staff with enhanced training and education opportunities for promotion and career advancement.
